The Rural Electric Co-Op’s Giant Christmas Tree
Christmas trees are a delight to a child
On the farm, situational poverty
In muck and filth, old coat against the cold
Finishing the milking long hours after dark
But to the east a Christmas tree, a hope
The electric co-op’s radio mast
Its guy wires strung with multi-colored lights
The North Pole must be something like that
Christmas trees are a delight to a child
And even more when the child becomes a man

The Rural Electric Co-Op’s Giant Christmas Tree
Christmas trees are a delight to a child
On the farm, situational poverty
In muck and filth, old coat against the cold
Finishing the milking long hours after dark
But to the east a Christmas tree, a hope
The electric co-op’s radio mast
Its guy wires strung with multi-colored lights
The North Pole must be something like that
Christmas trees are a delight to a child
And even more when the child becomes a man
A poem is itself.
